Sanskar-R u telling me u don’t think about it?
Swara-What it was like that first night?

She’d thought about it offen & had unfairely compared all her first dates & every other man to him over the years.They invariably fell short.Hard to believe how one night changed her life so much.

Heat burned her cheeks,& he couldn’t see embarrassment.

Swara-What do u want me to say?

Sanskar-I remember the look on ur face when I pulled up in front of the restaurant.
Swara-It was a nice restaurant.& a very expensive one,too.
His unwavering gaze held hers
Sanskar-U were worth every coin & more.
